Hello and Welcome to the second rendition of the Punk Rock Gift Exchange!
I would like to start by sending out a huge thank you to our last Hostesses With The Mostest-es, Rachel and Che for doing a great job with the last exchange! And for beginning this little shindig! I will be attempting to fill their large shoes!!
I would love to hear your feedback from the last exchange, so we can make this one the best one yet. If you have any ideas, you can either leave them in the feedback or send me an e-mail at sunne at rmi dot net. (Do not leave negative feedback in the comments, if you must say something negative, send it in an e-mail.) I will be limiting this swap to 50 participants - provided that many people want to play. I am planning on having a couple contests throughout this PRGE, so if you have any suggestions of contests you would like to see, let me know about those as well!
February 1st, I will have the rules posted, this blog up to speed, and start taking sign ups! Sign ups will close March 1st, and the swap will run from March 15th to June 15th. Please only sign up for this swap if you want follow through on your committment!! Yes, in a very un-punk way, this is a committment. All deadbeats will be throughly flogged, kicked-out and never allowed to participate again!!
Now, have a great weekend and get the f@ck out!!

PUNKS
RULES
- THESE ARE THE RULES - THEY ARE NOT OPTIONAL - IF YOU DON'T LIKE THEM - DON'T SIGN UP!! IT'S NOT VERY PUNK, BUT ITS REALITY!! If you like, you can do more these are the basic minimum guidelines!!
- $25.00 MINIMUM - you can spend more if you like, but you have to spend this! This is a $50 total exchange commitment before postage.
- CONTACT YOUR PAL AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK - YOU WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE EXCHANGE IF YOU DON'T - its nice, it lets them know you care. And be polite and respond to your pal. If you are nicer, you may get more gifties!
- THIS IS A HALF SECRET/HALF OPEN EXCHANGE! You will be a secret punk pal till your first box is received, then it will be an open exchange from there.
- POST WEEKLY ON YOUR BLOG - and it would be nice if occasionally there was a knitting or crochet or crafting entry, too. It helps your pal know what you like and again, it will get you better gifties! And post your gifties on your blog in a timely manner. Pals like it when you say thank you!
- This exchange is only open to knitters and crocheters (?? is that a word? those who crochet....you know what I mean!) You must knit or crochet to participate, have a blog and be a little punk in mentality.
- If you can't/don't follow these rules you will be kicked out of the exchange. I hate to be a hard ass, but I will be! Its only fair to all the good pals out there. So if you join, please play by the rules. If you have something happen and you can't play after joining, please e-mail me so that other arrangements can be made. Anyone who just bails will be blackballed for all future exchanges. And yes, the list started with the last one - lets not add any more names!

FOR THOSE WITH OUT OF COUNTRY PALS
- Please use this link to check with the postal service for items considered contraband, that could get your package confiscated by the postal authorities. Yes, this really did happen in a couple instances last time! Things like yarn seem to be okay, but things like tea, get your entire package tossed. So its good to know what is allowed. Also make sure on the customs form to write that it is a gift and put a small dollar amount, it seems to get through customs faster!
- Please be conscious with International Pals that you need to send boxes earlier, so that your pal receives her gifts about the same time as the rest of us. The mail service has gotten better but it is still 10 to 15 days behind domestic mail service.
